What should I do if my little hamster has a baby? What to do?

Give the mother rat nutrients or the mother rat will eat the cubs.

Hamsters are hairless when they are born, and hamster pups are very fragile and need to be cared for carefully.

In general, pay attention to these five points:

1. Use chopsticks to move hamster cubs into a soft cotton nest to keep them warm and comfortable; Generally, the hamster cage is padd with broken sawdust, the newborn hamster cubs have no hair on their bodies, and it will be very uncomfortable to lie directly on the sawdust, so they need to use cotton to make a soft and comfortable nest, but do not directly hold the small hamster with your hand, you should use clean wooden chopsticks to rub the sawdust in the hamster cage a few times, so that the chopsticks are stained with the taste of the hamster cage itself, and then gently clamp the small hamsters and move them to the nest to keep them warm.

2. Remove the male hamster from the co-breeding cage to prevent the male from affecting the female mouse to feed the cubs in order to mate; Generally, female hamsters can remove male hamsters from their cages after pregnancy to prevent them from continuing to mate. If the hamster has not been separated after the mother has given birth, the male rat should be removed from the cage in time and kept alone. Male hamsters do not have the consciousness of nurturing offspring, which will not only affect the lactation of female rats, but also may bite the mice to death because the hamster cubs prevent it from mating, so the male rat should be removed from the cage in time.

3. Place the rat cage in a quiet and dim room to disturb them as little as possible; Female rats should keep the room quiet during lactation, you can put the mouse cage in a quiet and dim room, so that the mother mouse and the cubs have a sense of security, try to disturb them as little as possible, do not interact with the hamster during this period, should not tease them, let alone release them out of the cage to play, to let the mother mouse concentrate on feeding the young.

4. Sufficient water and food to ensure the nutrition of the female mouse; What the owner needs to do is to ensure an adequate supply of water and food, supplement nutrition for the female mouse, appropriately match high-protein food, and pay attention to regulating the room temperature, so that the female mouse and the cubs have a comfortable living environment.

5. Take out the single cage as soon as possible after the mice grow hair to prevent them from being bitten to death by the female mouse. After the hamster cubs grow hair, they can open their eyes to eat on their own, you can take them out of the cage and raise them alone, hamsters are solitary animals, once the baby hamsters have the ability to move, the mother rat may also "dislike" them, regardless of the "mother-child love" to attack them, serious will also bite the baby hamster, so they should be kept separately as soon as possible.

Separate breeding, the mother tree and the baby hamster need to be raised separately after the baby is born, so as not to bite the young to death; Comfortable environment, in summer need to be transferred to a cool environment for maintenance, when the temperature is low, the cage needs to be padded with straw to keep warm; To supplement nutrition, you need to feed more foods with high protein content such as cheese, dried shrimp, and dried fish to supplement nutrients for hamsters.

After the baby hamster gives birth, the mother mouse and the baby hamster need to be raised separately, because the hamster is a solitary animal and has a more irritable personality, and may bite its young to death. Therefore, after 1 month, the baby hamster needs to be kept in isolation from the female mouse.

If a baby hamster gives birth to a baby in the summer, it needs to be moved to a cool environment to avoid death from heat stroke. If the temperature is low, an appropriate amount of wood chips and absorbent cotton can be propagated in the rat cage to ensure a warm and comfortable environment.

After the baby hamster gives birth, it is also necessary to pay attention to the supplement of protein, on the basis of rat food, feed more cheese, dried shrimp, dried fish and nutritional paste and other foods, and ensure that the food is sufficient, so as not to bite the cubs due to malnutrition.
